Trailer & Synopsis
Jaded private investigator Philip Marlowe (Humphrey Bogart) is hired by General Sternwood to help settle the astronomical gambling debts of his wild young daughter Carmen (Martha Vickers). Sternwood's older daughter Vivian (Lauren Bacall) provides assistance when she implies that the situation is far more complex that it first appears, and also involves a big-time casino owner (John Ridgely) and a recently disappeared family friend. As people linked to the family start being murdered one by one, Marlowe finds himself trapped within a web of love triangles, foul play, free-flowing booze and organised crime.
